ChaLean Extreme: Day 8 – Getting Extreme!!
Well we had to rest days over the weekend from our ChaLean extreme workout, so our bodies are all healed up and ready to go. Over the weekend I did not workout , I did not even go to LA Fitness to do any running, and I ate terrible. It was my sister’s birthday so I went out a few times for lunch and dinner and had cake and ice cream. I am the type of person that if I screw up in a day with my eating then I eat bad the rest of the day. But today marks the day that I start eating healthier again, so I can maximize my results from this workout. I decided not to follow the ChaLean Extreme nutrition guide that they provided for me, instead I will be doing The Abs Diet from Men’s Health. This diet includes 12 power foods. 1. Almonds and other nuts 2. Beans and other Legumes 3. Spinach, greens 4. Dairy, fat-free milk, yogurt and cheese 5. Instant oatmeal – unflavored and unsweetened 6. Eggs 7. Turkey and other lean meats – lean beef, chicken and fish 8. Peanut Butter, all natural and sugar free 9. olive oil 10. Whole grain breads 11. Extra protein powder 12. Raspberries and other berries. So wish me luck, this is probably going to be the hardest diet I have ever had to stick with. I get one day a week to splurge, I am actually more nervous about this than I am about the workout.
Today we did the Chalean Extreme Burn Circuit 1 disc again for the second time. If you remember in my first post about this workout I mentioned that I felt like the workout was to easy because I did not have heavy enough weights. Well, this time I had heavier weights and the workout went a lot better, but I do feel like this is the easier workout of the three Burn Circuits. What I do love about this ChaLean Extreme Workout, is that they have some great Ab workouts with dumbbells. You really get to focus on your obliques and if you do the exercise correctly than you can really feel your obliques getting a good workout. I really do like how you usually work out multiple body parts at a time. So if you are doing deltoid workouts then at the same time you are in a lounge working out your legs, or if you are doing a bench press, they have you working out your lower abs at the same time. That was one thing the P90x workout was great with too, was working out more than one section at a time.
Tonight I am going to LA Fitness to workout with Jeff, we are going to do a Chest workout and then run for a couple miles. But I will writing more about that tomorrow. And remember to check out Ben’s Chalean Extreme workout blog.
